> It's funny that he refuses to admit any fault in what he said Fault as in he regrets it?, or would have done it differently another time? If his goal was to get people to discuss this topic, how could he have done much better? > ideological rigidity and refusing to entertain other people's ideas in good faith is exactly what he's complaining about I don't think you can fault him for the rigidity or not entertain other people's ideas. It wasn't perfect or even great in either direction, but it surely made more effort than the many internet discussions, which we don't find fault with. |

I wouldn't say he made significantly more effort, and people certainly (and correctly IMO) find fault with them.
> Fault as in he regrets it?
I don't think he should regret publishing it, but I also don't think it led to much productive discussion about the issues here. People on both sides just chose to ignore and distort what other people said.
I don't think it's fair to say he made a good faith attempt to engage with the other side's position and fit it into the context of his beliefs. Instead he just presented his ideas and I don't think that does much on its own to advance the discussion. Predictably led to both sides digging in rather than finding some common ground.
